About me
Intro
Software engineer with more than 10 years of experience, combining a finance background (5 years as an Equity trader) and strong full-stack skills (React, Node.js, Solidity). Recently, I’ve been building DeFi protocols and bridging TradFi to DeFi — working across frontend development, smart contract integration, backend APIs, and product design. I bring a business-oriented mindset and product thinking to every project, helping not just to build, but to shape meaningful products
